South Korean girl group Girls' Generation (Korean: 소녀시대; So Nyeo Si Dae), known as Shoujo Jidai in Japan and Shàonǚ Shídài in the Sinophone world, have performed over 150 concerts across Asia, playing to nearly three million people.[1] They embarked on their first tour, Into The New World Tour in December 2009. Their next tour, The First Japan Tour, was attended by 140,000 people.

The group subsequently followed up the success of their Japan tour by embarking on their eponymously titled third tour, the 2011 Girls' Generation Tour. The group then toured Japan for the second time in early 2013, with a total of 20 stops on their Second Japanese Tour.

In addition to their own headlining tours, the group has participated in multiple SMTown tours. Their first appearance was at SM Town Live '08, and their following participation in SM Town Live '10 World Tour saw the group (along with fellow SMTown acts) become the first Asian singers in history to reach the top 10 on the US Billboard Concert Boxcore chart.[2] The group also performed on SM Town Live World Tour III (2012–2013), SM Town Week (2013), SM Town Live World Tour IV (2014–2015), SM Town Live World Tour V (2016), SM Town Live World Tour VI (2017) and SM Town Live 2022: SMCU Express (2022).
